Re: Expect this to be overturned

"Come jan, the dems will most definitely overturn this godawful ruling. The local communities have every right to demand the telco's play by the same rules the cableco's do."

If memory serves (and it usually does) The cable franchise thing was the result of an FCC order creating it many moons ago. Which means that the FCC has the authority to modify the terms and abilities of local governments in implementing franchises.
